I developed a fascination with French food in high school when our French III class learned how to prepare a number of classic French dishes. French cuisine offers a rich experience that ranges from simple, rustic country dishes to elaborate gastronomic feats.

Friday night is Steak Night at our house. We love to invite our closest friends over for a casual evening and then fire up the grill! A juicy tenderloin steak served with baby new potatoes and a fresh green salad is a delicious way to start the weekend!

I first discovered Honig Wines at a wine tasting in Boston. The host for the evening asked me to stick around for a few extra minutes, saying that maybe, if I promised to behave myself, he would come up with a selection that he was featuring from one of his favorite distributors. I agreed to his terms and waited patiently. My reward was a Honig Cabernet Sauvignon, aged about four years, and it carried one of the richest and full-bodied flavors I had ever experienced. My only comment was “Where have you been hiding this?” and, in the same breath, I grabbed my order slip and immediately ordered six bottles. I was, to say the least, excited about this wine.
